Hi,

I'm working on some man page updates, and, thinking about consistency, 
been wondering if there's any policy set on the order of options that 
one should use in usage messages/man pages/other documentation, i.e. is 
it 'ABCabc', 'AaBbCc', or 'aAbBcC' (or anything else really, I hope 
'unsorted' isn't possible answer here).
